# _Maker_ discovery
|
|
|
|
A _maker_ is a service run by a pseudonymous entity that offers to sell Monero in exchange for Bitcoin. To swap your Bitcoin for Monero you need to connect to a one of these _makers_.
|
|
The different ways to discover _makers_ are described below.
|
|
|
|
There are two ways to discover _makers_:
|
|
|
|
1. **Public Registry**: Community volunteers maintain a list of _makers_ that is provided to the GUI and is kept up to date automatically. This list is displayed in the GUI by default. The _Public Registry_ also stores additional information about the _makers_ such as their uptime and age, and makes it available to the GUI.
|
|
2. **Rendezvous**: The GUI can discover makers using the [_Rendezvous_ protocol](https://docs.libp2p.io/concepts/discovery-routing/rendezvous/). This protocol enables the GUI to find makers that register themselves at a _Rendezvous Point_. The GUI can query these points to get a list of registered makers. _Rendezvous Points_ are operated by community volunteers, and anyone can run one. The GUI can connect to various _Rendezvous Points_ to discover different _makers_.
|
|
|
|
## _Public Registry_
|
|
|
|
The makers from the registry are displayed in the GUI. If you want to connect to them directly without the GUI choose one from the table below.
|
|
|
|
import SwapProviderTable from "../../components/SwapProviderTable";
|
|
|
|
<div>
|
|
<br/>
|
|
<SwapProviderTable />
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
## How to discover _makers_ via _Rendezvous_
|
|
|
|
1. Open the _maker_ list by clicking the right-facing arrow in the widget on the _Swap_ tab.
|
|
|
|
<img src="/rendezvous_1.png" />
|
|
|
|
2. Click the <img src="/rendezvous_button_1.png" style={{
|
|
height: "1lh",
|
|
display: "inline-block",
|
|
// center vertically
|
|
verticalAlign: "middle",
|
|
}}/> button to open the _Discover makers_ dialog. Enter the _Multiaddress_ of the _Rendezvous Point_ you want to connect to. You can also choose one of the predined ones from the list below the Textfield. Click the _Connect_ button to connect to the rendezvous point.

## How to add a _maker_ to the _Public Registry_
|
|
|
|
If you know of a _maker_ that is not yet in the _Public Registry_, you can submit it manually. Here's how you can do it:
|
|
|
|
1. Open the _maker_ list by clicking the right-facing arrow in the widget on the _Swap_ tab.
|
|
|
|
<img src="/rendezvous_1.png" />
|
|
|
|
2. Click the <img src="/public_registry_button_1.png" style={{
|
|
height: "1lh",
|
|
display: "inline-block",
|
|
// center vertically
|
|
verticalAlign: "middle",
|
|
}}/> button. Enter the _Multiaddress_ of the _maker_ as well as the _Peer ID_ of the provider. Click the _Submit_ button to submit the provider to the _Public Registry_.
